Can people die from Crohn's Disease?
Yes . Most people do not die from Crohn's Disease however.
Crohn's disease can have many complications and people can die from them.
Bowel blockages, infections, post operative infections, severe dehydration and/or malnutrition compromise the immune system and can lead to death.
In most cases, Crohn's is well controlled with medication and patients live long lives.
